Bike quiz bowl: Games and quizzes centered around biking.
Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist with calves of steel or a casual rider who might still have training wheels, this collection of bike-themed games and quizzes will take you on an exciting adventure on two wheels. Just remember to wear a helmet!
Quiz bowl is a team game, and there are few things that can be more helpful to a new team than to compete against teams with greater experience. Not only is this a great way to get practice (and to learn more about the game itself), but it also gives less experienced teams an idea of where they need to focus their studies.
A team with a deep knowledge of a single subject or subjects is often called a specialist, and while many players eventually fill in gaps in all subjects to become full generalists, it is not uncommon for a student to spend most of his or her career playing as a specialist.
The first step to improving in quiz bowl is to go to tournaments as much as possible. While practice is an important part of this, competing in a full day of competitions on a regular basis will be the best way to quickly improve your skill level. You can find a list of tournaments and other resources for students and coaches at PACE’s official website. You can also use the Quizbowl Resource Center, the pre-eminent message board and online community for discussion of the game; it is endorsed by NAQT.
